“The Sahaabah never differed in Aqeedah; rather the differing (in Aqeedah) took place after them.”[1]

Al-Allaamah Saaleh Al-Luhaydaan (may Allaah preserve him) was asked about the one who says that the sahaabah differed in aqeedah; so he said: [“أستغفر الله – none says this except a Mubtadi Daal (i.e. an innovator, astray one). [2]

Al-Allaamah Ahmad Bin Yahyah An-Najmi (rahimahullaah) was asked about the one who says that the Sahaabah differed in Aqeedah; so he replied: “The one who says that the sahaabah differed in Aqeedah should support his speech with evidences; otherwise he is a liar, false accuser…. [3]

The Shaikh (rahimahullaah) also said:

The Shaikh (rahimahullaah) also said:

Not a single one of them reproached the one who was in opposition to him; but the aim of this speaker–false accuser–is to pave the way for the differing of hizbiyyah (i.e. to find room– by way of this false claim–for the differing of the people of illegal partisanship against the sound Manhaj positions of the Salafis). And he has established against himself that he is a hizbi…. [6]

Ref 2: Clarification: The Muta-aalim (Pseudo Shaikh Asim Al-Hakeem) has not been declared an innovator; rather this is a general ruling and not specific to anyone until the evidence is established against such an individual. However, it shows the severity of Asim’s devilish insinuations and ignorance.
